Description: Tucson, ARIZONA - Benedictine Sanctuary of Perpetual Adoration - 1948: The formal name of the property was the Benedictine Convent and Perpetual Adoration Shrine of Christ the King. The development of this Catholic religious center began on June 28, 1935 when Tucson Bishop Gercke sent a formal letter of invitation to the Benedictine Motherhouse in Clyde, Missouri. The American Order of St. Benedict was established by a pioneer group of nuns who migrated from the Perpetual Adoration Convent of Maria Rickenbach in the mountains of Switzerland, establishing their community’s on the prairies of Missouri in December of 1875. On July 28, 1935 the Benedictine Sisters purchase the Steinfeld Mansion at 300 N. Main Street in Tucson establishing the second branch house of their American Benedictine Order. The Mansion had been designed by architect Henry Trost in 1898 in an affluent neighborhood of the city today known as El Presidio. The first pioneer sisters arrived in Tucson to prepare the convent on August 17, 1935, and sixteen sisters arrived in Tucson to form the new community on October 30 of that year.
